Lay Me Down in Green Pastures

Visions of what used to be Comes to set my spirit free The distant past is fading fast As the warm earth covers me The two of us that once was we The children I no longer see A lonely scene in pastures green As the warm earth covers me No friends show, nor family No bowed heads or eulogy No words are said to praise the dead As the warm earth covers me

Sad ending and probably repeated more often than we think. Death usually lasts about twenty minutes, these days, as the conveyor belt just keeps going.
